If you could invite ANYONE to dinner, who would it be and why?

I love to read, and adventure books are a real favorite of mine.  So I would invite two of my favorite adventure novelists-matthew Reilly and Clive Cussler.  I have read all of Reilly’s books, and probably 85% of Cussler’s.  I would just like to pick their brains, ask them questions about the characters, and possibly see if I could get some spoilers on upcoming novels.

I just finished Jim Beaver’s (Yes, he plays Bobby Singer on Supernatural) book, “Life’s That Way.” And was in such awe of his ability to put such raw emotion out there for anyone to see.  He wrote about losing his wife in a way that didn’t just express his sadness, but let us see the love and joy he felt just simply for being with her.  It really touched me, and I think it would be fun to talk to him.  Perhaps I could also get some insight as to what is gonna happen next season on Supernatural!  My kids would dig that.
